Unleashed from the dungeon of the American Genre Film Archive (AGFA), this is a compilation of some of the wildest, most insane trailers they could find. Trust me, I have so many trailer compilations and this one even surprised me with some of its entries.
According to AGFA, this was “meticulously constructed by the mad scientists at AGFA to resemble an otherworldly night at the drive-in.” Unlike so many of the comps that I own, these trailers have been cleaned up with a 2K scan to make them look better than they have in years, perhaps even when they originally screened.
I like to be surprised when I watch these, so if you’re like me, you can stop reading now, because I’m going to spoil what movies are on this:
- Nightmare Weekend: A slasher in which a killer uses a computer to kill people.
- Dead and Buried: One of my favorite films ever, a dark and twisted tale of a small town with a secret.
- Witchcraft ’70: A recut version of the mondo Angeli Bianchi… Angeli Neri, this is nearly a totally different movie, filled with occult insanity. This is totally one of my favorite party films.
- The Teenage Psycho Meets Bloody Mary (AKAThe Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies): What does it say about me that I knew which this movie was in under three seconds?
- Fear No Evil: They have the kiss fight in the trailer, so there’s that.
- The Corpse Grinders/The Undertaker and His Pals/The Embalmer: I love these triple feature trailers and this one even has a special contract you can fill out.
- Scalps: The Fred Olen Ray version, in case you were hoping for the Italian one.
- Carnival of Blood/Curse of the Headless Horseman
- Massage Parlor Murders!
- Hobgoblins: Woah boy. I also knew this one within seconds.
- The Vampire’s Coffin/The Robot vs. the Aztec Mummy
- Splatter University
- The Velvet Vampire
- Magdalena Possessed by the Devil: My hope is that more people see this trailer on this collection and hunt down this completely deranged film.
- Meat Cleaver Massacre: I love that the producers doubled down on how they conned Christopher Lee into being in this by having him all over the trailer.
- Terror Sexo y Brujería: We just featured this movie, which is actually two movies shot decades apart.
- The Frenzy of Blood Double Feature, which I hate so much, as it features some of the most annoying people ever while trying to get you to see Blood Spattered Bride and I Dismember Mama
- The Slayer: Again, I want more people to hunt this movie down, because wow, it’s really out there.
- Brainiac: This trailer is nearly as deranged as the film.
- Drive-In Massacre
- FutureKill
- Lurkers
- I Drink Your Blood/I Eat Your Skin: Is this the best double bill of all time?
- The Manson Massacre
- Three on a Meathook
- Final Exam
- Body Melt
- Lucifer’s Women
- Demonoid: Seeing this trailer made me want to watch this movie again. And again.
- Demon Wind: I’ve never seen this trailer!
- Blood Hook
- The Man with 2 Heads
- Prey
- Evil Laugh
- The Werewolf vs. The Vampire Woman
- Psychos In Love
- The Worm Eaters
- Old Dracula
There’s also some astounding food ads and one totally wild one for the Winchester Mystery House which has to be seen to be believed. Plus, they’ve also included Say Goodbye to Your Brain, a found footage horror experiment that combines multiple trailers.
Perhaps best of all, there’s a full hour of SOV trailers, The AGFA Horror Trailer Show: Videorage, which includes:
- Spiritual Challenge: This trailer is worth the price of this entire set!

You can get this from Vinegar Syndrome. You totally should, because it’s so worth the money. Let me tell you, the TV commercials that are worked into this are so incredible, too. Get it and let me know what you think!
